Schilletter (SV) and University (UV) Village Apartments

UV is available to freshmen 19 or older and all sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students. UV is also the only single student location on campus to offer a mixed gender roommate option.

SV is typically available to any student who is married or in a domestic partner relationship and/or has custody/visitation rights for dependent children; the student's spouse/domestic partner and/or dependent children. If the demand for family housing is low, single students may also be accommodated in this area. In that case, eligibility is the same as for UV.
